The B&H Photo Mac Pro Workstation Turnkey with DaVinci Resolve and 12TB RAID Storage is a professional post-production solution for video editors and colorists working with 4K content. The kit pairs an Apple Mac Pro workstation computer with Blackmagic's DaVinci Resolve software and Tangent Element control panels. The turnkey also features a 12TB Thunderbolt 2 external storage/editing array, Blackmagic UltraStudio 4K Thunderbolt 2 I/O device, Apple Magic Mouse 2, and a backlit keyboard with shortcuts for Resolve. The hardware and software in this bundle have been configured and tested at B&H to ensure that all of the components are working nicely together.

The Mac Pro version featured in this turnkey has a 3.0 GHz, eight-core Intel Xeon E5 processor along with 32GB RAM, a 512GB PCIe-based SSD drive for internal storage, and dual 6GB AMD FirePro D700 graphics cards. Having two graphics cards allows one card to dedicate itself to driving monitors or other external displays, while the second can provide additional processing power to DaVinci Resolve and other GPU-accelerated tasks/applications. By shifting computationally intensive tasks, such as transcoding video, to the GPU, the system is able to free up CPU resources for other tasks, helping make things run faster and more efficiently.

A full software license for DaVinci Resolve for Mac is provided, giving access to an industry-standard color grading software with integrating timeline-based editing capabilities. Incorporating node-based image processing, the DaVinci Resolve provides color correction, power windows, and effects for nodes that offer a powerful color correction medium as compared to layers. Faster workflows in real-time are offered via the four included Tangent Element control panels, which provides full tactile control, including buttons, trackballs, and knobs.

The Blackmagic Design UltraStudio 4K is a video I/O device that can capture as well as output SDI and HDMI video. It supports a wide range of frame rates and resolutions, all the way up to DCI specification 4K (4096 x 2160) at up to 60 progressive frames per second. It features a rackmountable form factor, is powered using an included power cable, and interfaces to the Mac Pro using a supplied Thunderbolt cable. For simultaneously editing and backing up your high-resolution footage, a 12TB external RAID array is included. Actual storage capacity will differ according to the RAID configuration, which can be setup in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and 50. Like the UltraStudio 4K, the RAID array connects to the Mac Pro via an included Thunderbolt 2 cable.

More information on the individual components of the kit can be found below.

Apple Mac Pro Desktop Computer (Eight-Core, Late 2013)

From 2006 to 2012, the Mac Pro from Apple stuck with the same aluminum case, first made popular by the Power Mac G5. Now, the Mac Pro returns with a completely redesigned look. Apple revisited the architecture of the Mac Pro's internal components in order to maximize performance and minimize heat. With a unified thermal core, Apple opted for a leaner, lighter, and quieter structure that was more streamlined. The unique cylinder design stands just 9.9 inches tall with a diameter of just 6.6 inches, which allows it to be a professional workstation that can actually sit on your desk.

The system is powered by an 8-core 3.0 GHz Intel Xeon E5 processor. The Mac Pro also has 32GB of 1866 MHz DDR3 ECC RAM and 512GB of PCIe-based flash storage. There are also dual AMD FirePro D700 graphics cards with 6GB of GDDR5 discrete VRAM each. You'll be able to connect to the Internet with fast-speed 802.11ac Wi-Fi. The Mac Pro also supports a/b/g/n Wi-Fi networks as well. The Mac Pro also features built-in Bluetooth 4.0, which allows you to connect wireless headphones, keyboard, mice and other compatible peripherals without a hassle.

The Mac Pro has six Thunderbolt 2 ports, a high-speed interface that can move data at up to 20 Gb/s. That's four times the speed of the USB 3.0 standard. Speaking of USB 3.0, Apple added four USB 3.0 ports to ensure you have full native connectivity options with your USB-compatible peripherals, such as external hard drives.

iLife has a complete suite of digital creativity applications. Easy enough for anyone to use, iLife will help you edit your home movies, organize digital photos and compose original music. iLife includes iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand.

Keynote allows you to create a powerful presentation, complete with animated charts, interactive tables with cinematic effects and transitions.

Please note that this Mac may come with an earlier version of macOS. You can upgrade to the latest version through the Mac App Store app.

Eight-Core, Late 2013 Intel Xeon E5 Performance

This Mac Pro features a 3.0 GHz Intel Xeon E5 processor with 8 cores of processing power on a single die. And with 25MB of L3 cache, 40 GB/s of PCI Express Gen 3 bandwidth, and 256-bit-wide floating-point instructions, you'll never be at a loss for speed

Dual AMD FirePro D700 Graphics Cards

Traditionally, professional computers have relied primarily on the CPU for their computing power. But as GPU performance has dramatically increased, software developers have begun to leverage that power in their apps. With the Mac Pro, Apple engineered an even more powerful GPU architecture. Not only does it feature a state-of-the-art AMD FirePro workstation-class GPU - it features two of them. And each is available with 6GB of dedicated VRAM and 2048 stream processors. With 7 teraflops of computing power between the two, you'll be able to do things like seamlessly edit full-resolution 4K video while simultaneously rendering effects in the background - and still have enough power to connect up to three high-resolution 4K displays

Memory

Every component in the Mac Pro is optimized for performance. That includes a four-channel DDR3 memory controller running at 1866 MHz. It supports 32GB of memory and delivers up to 60 GB/s of memory bandwidth, which means you can fly through even the most compute-intensive tasks in no time. And since it's ECC memory, your render job, video export, or simulation won't be stopped by transient memory errors

Design

Apple reorganized the architecture of the internal components as well as the entire enclosure of the Mac Pro. Its unique cylinder design is made with refined impact extrusion technologies for effective material use and a polished aluminum enclosure. It stands at just 9.9 inches tall with a diameter of just 6.6 inches, allowing you to place it on your desk

Storage

The Mac Pro has next-generation PCIe-based flash storage, which is up to 2.4 times faster than the fastest SATA-based solid state drive and up to 10 times faster than a 7200 rpm SATA hard drive. Most flash storage systems that connect via SATA buses are designed for slower spinning hard drives. But Apple designed the Mac Pro around new PCIe-based flash controller technology, which delivers the fastest solid state drives available standard in a desktop computer. So you'll have 512GB of storage that will let you boot up, launch apps, and even open massive files almost instantly

Thermal Core

Rather than using multiple heat sinks and fans to cool the processor and graphics cards, Apple built everything around a single piece of extruded aluminum designed to maximize airflow as well as thermal capacity. It works by conducting heat away from the CPU and GPUs and distributing that heat uniformly across the core. That way, if one processor isn't working as hard as the others, the extra thermal capacity can be shared efficiently among them

Fan

Instead of adding extra fans, Apple engineered a single, larger fan that pulls air upward through a bottom intake. As air passes vertically through the center of the device, it absorbs heat and carries it out the top. By minimizing air resistance throughout the system, Apple was able to design a fan with backward-curved impeller blades that runs at fewer revolutions per minute, draws air more efficiently as it spins, and creates considerably less noise

Expansion

Designed with built-in Thunderbolt 2, USB 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet, and HDMI 1.4 ports, the Mac Pro provides flexible, high-performance expansion. And it has everything you need to build a workstation completely customized to what you need and how you work

Thunderbolt 2

Thunderbolt 2 combines PCI Express and DisplayPort into one high-speed, versatile I/O technology. Thunderbolt 2 delivers twice the throughput, providing up to 20 Gb/s of bandwidth to each external device. So you're more than ready for the next generation of high-performance peripherals, without being limited by the number of expansion slots inside your computer. You can connect massive amounts of storage, add a PCI expansion chassis, and work with the latest external displays - including 4K desktop displays and peripheral devices capable of broadcasting in 4K. And since each Thunderbolt 2 port allows you to daisy-chain up to six peripherals, you can go all out by plugging in up to 36 external devices via Thunderbolt 2 alone. Mac Pro supports a total of two DVI or HDMI displays when connected via the built-in HDMI port or using the Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. To connect additional DVI displays, use an active DVI adapter such as the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter. You can connect up to six active adapter DVI displays. This requires a powered USB hub since Mac Pro offers four USB ports and you will need six to connect them all.

I/O Connections

The Mac Pro equips you with all kinds of connections for all kinds of peripherals. USB 3.0 gives you the versatility to hook up dozens of different types of external devices. Two Gigabit Ethernet ports let you connect to multiple networks. And an HDMI 1.4 port provides support for the high-definition televisions, projectors, and displays, including Ultra HD TVs. As you rotate Mac Pro to plug in a device, it senses the movement and automatically illuminates the I/O panel. So you can easily see the ports you need when you need them

Wireless

Access your network over three-stream 802.11ac Wi-Fi for high-speed wireless connectivity. For all your other wireless connections, the Mac Pro includes Bluetooth 4.0. It's the easiest way to connect your keyboard, mouse, and other wireless devices without having to physically attach anything

Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve 15 Studio (Dongle)

Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve 15 Studio now includes Fusion. Over the years, Resolve has been growing from an industry-standard color grading software to a more and more complete post-production solution. Today, in one comprehensive application, Resolve includes advanced color correction, complete non-linear video editing, Fairlight audio post production, and Fusion VFX compositing and motion graphics. To access each toolset, simply switch to the tab/page that offers it. In addition to all this, Resolve also offers a powerful collaboration workflow and supports a suite of control panels designed specifically for color grading/video editing and Fairlight. Across all these pages, Resolve 15 offers major new features as well as a faster workflow thanks to the new Apple Metal and CUDA GPU processing.

**Resolve 15 is not out yet and is expected soon. You will currently get version 14 but will be able to upgrade for free to version 15 when it becomes available.

Resolve features a node-based color grading system. Each node (layer) can have its own color correction, isolated areas, and effects. Unlimited numbers of nodes can be joined together sequentially or in parallel. In all, you can combine grades, effects, mixers, keys, and plug-ins in any order to create limitless color effects and unique looks. This is the core of Resolve's color grading functionality, and there are hundreds of advanced features and capabilities in addition.

The video editing functionality in Resolve is designed to handle TV dramas, commercials, multi-camera productions, and all other project types from the smallest to the largest. The trimming tool is context-sensitive, meaning that based on where you position the mouse cursor on the timeline, Resolve will automatically switch to the trimming function you need, so you can ripple, roll, slip, slide, or extend and shorten your footage without having to manually switch tools. Resolve allows multiple people to work together on the same timeline at the same time in a collaborative effort. This is a major time benefit when each user is assigned a specific task. Just like with the grading section, the editing section also has hundreds of other features and capabilities.

Fairlight gets a major upgrade in Resolve 15. There are new ADR tools, audio normalization, 3D panners, audio and video scrollers, a sound library database, and built-in cross platform plug-ins such as reverb, hum removal, vocal channel and de-esser.

Using Resolve's Emmy award-winning image processing technology, all image processing is done at deep 32-bit float processing combined with unique, patented YRGB color science that processes luminance independent of color. This allows you to adjust the luminance of video without rebalancing the color of your highlights, midtones, or shadows. The large internal color space is also perfect for the latest HDR and wide color gamut workflows.

Resolve was designed with the ability to integrate with dozens of other applications so that you can focus more on your project. Resolve can share sequences and round-trip projects with Final Cut Pro X, Media Composer, Premiere Pro, and other editing, audio, and VFX and motion graphics software. Projects can be edited on any system and then linked back to your full-quality camera raw files using XML, AAF, or EDL and finish in greater bit depth with Resolve. You can also use AAF export to send a project to ProTools with discreet audio clips and a single layer video mix down for audio finishing.

DaVinci Resolve 15 is compatible with Mac, Windows, and Linux so you can use it at home or in a post facility on a Mac, at a broadcast facility running Windows, or a VFX studio on Linux. If you're running Red Hat or CentOS Linux, you can even build your own workstation using low cost motherboards, extremely fast processors, massive amounts of RAM and up to 8 GPUs.

Note: 1) Resolve 15 is not out yet and is expected soon. You will currently get version 14 but will be able to upgrade for free to version 15 when it becomes available. 2) Your order provides you with a USB dongle that lets you use the software on as many computers as you want by inserting the dongle into the one you want to use at the time.

Edit

Subtitles and Closed Captioning (New)

Import SRT files or manually create subtitles and closed captioning.

Open multiple timelines to quickly copy, paste, and edit between them.

DaVinci Resolve 15 is optimized for editorial performance. You get instantaneous JKL playback and an ultra-responsive interface with super-smooth timeline scrubbing, dramatically faster editing, and more responsive and precise trimming.

Various Editing Styles

Designed to be intuitive and familiar, DaVinci Resolve 15 lets you work the way you want. Choose from edit types such as overwrite, insert, ripple overwrite, replace, fit to fill, append at end, and more. Every editing style is supported, from drag-and-drop to the timeline, to three- and four-point edits, preview phantom markers, markers as sub-clips, and customizable keyboard shortcuts.

Advanced Trimming

DaVinci Resolve 15 features numerous advanced trimming tools. There are context-sensitive tools that automatically ripple, roll, slip, or slide based on the position of the mouse. You can use dynamic JKL trimming, perform asymmetric trims, trim multiple clips at the same time, and even trim live during looping playback to make precise edits.

Stacked Timelines

The new stacked timeline feature lets you simultaneously open and work with multiple timelines. Imagine being able to quickly copy and paste or edit scenes from one timeline to another. With DaVinci Resolve 15 you can have multiple timelines open at the same time, and this makes working in larger projects dramatically faster than ever before.

Audio Overlays

The source viewer in DaVinci Resolve features a revolutionary audio waveform overlay that allows you to see the audio waveform and video clip at the same time. This lets you quickly navigate to different parts of a clip based on spikes, silent areas, or other visual cues in the audio waveform so you can mark clips and create split edits with confidence.

Multicam Editing

Cut programs while playing back multiple sources in a 2, 4, 9, or 16 up multi-camera grid view. Synchronize camera angles based on timecode, in or out points, or audio. DaVinci Resolve can even recognize camera starts and stops, and uses metadata for angle and name information. You can even grade entire camera angles all at once.

Working with Bins

Create arbitrary bins to organize footage however you'd like, or use Smart Bins to automatically organize clips based on metadata. Bins can now be opened into their own windows so you can arrange them on multiple screens. New bin locking lets an assistant organize footage in one bin while the editor works on a timeline in another.

Plug-In Effects

You can add 3rd party OpenFX transition and generator plug-ins, or you can use the built-in ResolveFX plug-ins found in DaVinci Resolve Studio. That means you can add filter effects such as mosaic, blurs, lens flares, film grain, and more.

Speed Effects

Quickly create constant or variable speed changes with dramatic ramping curves for truly dynamic effects. You get separate curves for both frame position and playback speed that allow any frame to be moved to any point in time. Choose optical flow, frame blending or nearest frame rendering for the highest quality results.

Timeline Curve Editor

DaVinci Resolve 15 has a timeline-based keyframe and curve editor. That means you can see your keyframe positions and curves directly under each clip in context with your program. Keyframes can be copied, pasted, moved in groups, and edited as needed. Visual controls let you quickly select the keyframes you need to edit.

Fusion

VFX Compositing & Motion Graphics

Now it's possible to bring feature film quality visual effects and motion graphics to any production. Whether you're working on a Hollywood blockbuster, episodic television show, national commercial, or independent film, Fusion gives you the power to create photorealistic visual effects, advanced motion graphics, and immersive title sequences.

Visual Effects Compositing

Fusion's node-based interface and true 3D workspace lets you composite images on top of each other to create sophisticated effects. Nodes are powerful because they can be connected together in a flow chart style, making it easy to see the entire composition and quickly make changes. Working with nodes in Fusion is much faster than searching through stacks of layers and filters.

Advanced Keying

For seamless compositing you need to be able to remove blue, green, or any other color backgrounds. Fusion features multiple keyers, including the all-new Delta Keyer, which uses advanced image science and a complete set of matte finesse controls to give you the cleanest possible keys while preserving fine image detail.

Vector Paint

Fusion's resolution-independent paint tools feature flexible brush styles, blend modes, and stroke shapes that can be modified at any time. Use the paint tool to quickly remove wires, rigs, or other unwanted elements. Simply clone one area to another, smear an image with a brush stroke, or even paint entirely new elements.

Rotoscoping

Fusion's bezier and B-spline tools let you quickly draw, track, and animate custom shapes so you can isolate actors or objects from other elements in a shot. Planar tracking data can be used on shapes so you don't have to manually animate motion, perspective, position, scale, or rotation as the image changes.

3D Particles

With Fusion, you can turn any object into a particle and then use physics like avoidance, gravity, and bounce to influence and alter the particles in natural ways. Particles can use 3D geometry, change color over their duration, or even emit other particles. Best of all, particles work in 3D so they can swirl, surround, and bounce off of other elements in your scene.

2D and 3D Titles

Create animated titles with 2D and 3D text tools. Enjoy traditional text formatting controls along with 3D extrusion, the ability to add reflections, bump maps, shadows, and more. Use the follower tool to animate individual characters so they fly on and off, ripple glow effects through each letter, and more.

Tracking and Stabilization

To look realistic, objects have to move in perfect synchronization. Fusion can automatically track, match move, and stabilize objects in your shots. Choose from the planar tracker, traditional 3D tracker, or the camera tracker, which analyzes and matches the movement of the live action camera that was used to shoot the scene.

Spline Based Motion Graphics Animation

Fusion features an advanced curve editor that lets you create linear, bezier, and B-spline animation curves. There are even specific tools to loop, reverse, ping pong, move, stretch, and squish keyframes so you can quickly make sophisticated animations.

Volumetric Effects

Atmospheric effects, like fog or mist, can dramatically increase realism in your scenes. Fusion uses GPU acceleration so you can instantly see how the effects interact with the rest of the scene, all without having to wait for renders. You can also use the world position data from deep pixel render passes to realistically move fog throughout your 3D scene.

Scripting and Automation

The Fusion page supports both Lua and Python scripting so you can save time by writing scripts to create custom tools, pass data back and forth between Fusion and other applications, and automate repetitive tasks to speed up your workflow.

Internal YRGB color space handles luminance separate from color, and patented DaVinci algorithms are used to process images at full 32-bit float quality with GPU acceleration to deliver exceptional images.

Primary Correction

Lift, gamma, gain, log, and offset color wheel and contrast controls are precise enough to make even the subtlest adjustments. You also get primary adjustment bars that let you adjust luminance separate from the red, green, and blue channels, allowing you to create incredibly unique looks that are impossible with other tools.

Advanced Primary Controls

Twelve advanced primary adjustment controls encourage experimentation and creativity. You can quickly adjust temperature and tint, color boost, mid-tone detail, saturation, luminance, gamma, lift, gain, and more. If you've ever used software such as Photoshop, these tools will help make it easy to switch to DaVinci Resolve.

Curve Editor

Curves let you quickly sculpt contrast along various highlight and shadow areas of an image. For total control, you get separate curves for each channel with soft clipping for smooth results. There's also a set of innovative curves such as Hue vs. Sat, Sat vs. Sat, and more for creating completely unique curves that target specific areas of an image.

Secondaries

Secondaries let you quickly isolate different parts of an image. For example, you can use HSL qualifiers or the 3D keyer to select specific colors, like skin tones, to create a matte and make adjustments. You can even draw custom Power Windows to rotoscope parts of an image for targeted corrections.

Tracking and Stabilization

Trackers allow you to follow specific parts of an image as they move through the frame over time. They can also be used to stabilize shaky shots. You get perspective, 3D, horizontal, vertical tracking and even a point tracker for effects. The tracker generates an editable point cloud that can be used to attach Power Windows to moving objects.

High Dynamic Range (HDR)

HDR offers greater dynamic range and a wider color gamut than traditional formats. DaVinci Resolve 15 features a complete set of HDR image processing and grading features so you can work in super bright, wide color formats, such as Dolby Vision, Hybrid Log Gamma, HDR10+, and more.

Raw Image Processing

DaVinci Resolve 15 works with RAW files directly from the camera's sensor. Resolve provides total control over highlight recovery, white balance, gamma, and more, along with exposure, color temperature, tint, and sharpness adjustments. The raw tools let you pull the maximum detail out of highlights, shadows, and mid tones, all in real time.

ResolveFX are GPU and CPU-accelerated plug-ins for creating effects such as film grain, warping, lens flares, and more. There are also facial recognition tools that automatically detect faces so you can quickly brighten eyes, change lip color, adjust skin tones, and more. There's even a new 32-bit float dust busting tool that lets you eliminate spots and dust on your images. In addition, DaVinci Resolve also works with 3rd-party OpenFX plug‑ins.

Media and Delivery

Wide Format Support, Complete Mastering

All projects start with importing and organizing footage, and they all end with mastering and final output. DaVinci Resolve 15 features tools that are designed to let you get to work quickly and output files fast, so you'll never miss a tight deadline. Its very wide format support makes it compatible with virtually every modern file format and media type in the world, making it the ideal hub for your post production workflow.

Importing Footage

DaVinci Resolve lets you preview, import, and manage media on the Media Page. Files are never moved, they don't need to be "ingested", and they're not stored in proprietary locations. Everything is left in place on your drives exactly where you put them. Simply drag and drop to the bins in your project's media pool or directly onto a timeline.

Organize Clips

Easily create free form bins to organize footage any way you'd like. You can also use Smart Bins to automatically sort and display footage based on metadata criteria. Bins can be viewed in a customizable list view that now includes markers, or as icons that show in/out indicators. You can now also open multiple bins into separate windows.

Marking Clips

Quickly load and mark clips in the source viewer or directly in your project's bins. Simply scrub over a clip icon and add your in/out points. A graphical overlay on the icon shows the marked portion of the clip. Markers and notes can now be viewed in list view and as overlays in the source monitor. You can even drag a duration marker segment from the bin to the timeline to edit in specific portions of a clip without having to create sub‑clips.

Syncing Audio

Syncing audio and video is easy. Just select the audio and video clips and use the sync command. You can sync based on timecode or by audio waveforms. Best of all, you don't have to render new media. Resolve manages it all for you, merging the audio, video, and metadata from the files so you can start editing immediately.

Metadata

File metadata is automatically imported, plus you can enter your own custom keywords and tags. Footage can be sorted into smart bins based on keywords, type of camera, or any other metadata. You can even change display names for clips using scene, shot, and take metadata. That means you'll never have to rename media files.

Clone Tool

DaVinci Resolve features a powerful clone tool that makes bit for bit copies with checksum verification of media cards, SSDs, and mags from cameras. For maximum protection, you can save multiple copies to different destinations at the same time.

Output Options

DaVinci Resolve 15 lets you output timelines, parts of timelines, and individual clips for mastering or sharing with other applications. Delivery presets make it fast to prep files for the Web or other applications, and you can build your own from scratch. You can even create Digital Cinema Packages (DCPs) for theatrical distribution or output to tape.

Render Queue

You can quickly add multiple timelines or clips to the render queue for batch processing. Simply create each job, click the "Add to Render Queue" button and then start the batch. If you're working on a network with DaVinci Resolve Studio, you can offload the render to another workstation so you can continue working on your system.

Collaboration

Complete Collaboration Workflow

DaVinci Resolve 15 is designed for collaboration from the ground up. Each artist gets a page with the dedicated tools and interfaces they need to get their specific job done. All of the work is tied together and managed by a powerful database, universal timeline, and advanced image and sound processing engines. This makes it possible for editors, colorists, VFX artists, animators, and sound engineers to work together simultaneously. With DaVinci Resolve 15, you no longer have to wait for the editor to lock picture before color, effects, and sound work can begin. Best of all, you no longer have to deal with importing and exporting files, translating projects, losing work, or conforming and managing changes. DaVinci Resolve 15 is the only application in the world that lets everyone work together in parallel on the same project at the same time.

Multiple Users

DaVinci Resolve 15 is the world's first post-production tool designed for true multi-user collaboration. Each user logs in and can work together on the same project. Multiple assistants can prep and sort footage, the editor can cut, visual effects artists can work on shots, and colorists can grade. Sound editors can even start mixing a reel while the editor is cutting another scene.

Bin Locking

Bin and timeline locking allow multiple assistants and editors to work together without overwriting each other's work. One user can create bins for organizing footage, adding metadata, and creating string outs while another works in a different bin. The bins and timelines remain "read only" until they are unlocked by the user that's working in them.

Built-In Chat

The built-in real-time chat feature allows users to communicate with each other inside of DaVinci Resolve. Editors can quickly message assistants with questions about footage, or ask them to unlock a bin. Colorists can check in with editors on particular shots, and sound editors can talk to the editor in real time

Timeline Comparison

When multiple people work on the same project you might ask an assistant to tighten up a cut or to finish a scene for you. When they're done, you can use the new timeline compare tool to visually display where clips have been added, deleted, moved, or trimmed. This makes it fast and easy to accept the new changes.

DaVinci Resolve Project Server

The new DaVinci Resolve Project Server software makes collaboration possible by managing the traffic and saving the changes from each user. This elegant software makes setting up a shared project database fast and easy. Once the software is set up on a dedicated system, users can log in and start working on their projects.

Open Storage

DaVinci Resolve is the only post production solution that lets you use the storage of your choice for shared projects. You don't need to buy expensive, proprietary storage or hire an entire IT department to use or manage it. Simply connect each user to your shared storage, set up the DaVinci Resolve Project Manager software and start working.

Optional Control Panels

Creative Control

While DaVinci Resolve can be used as a standalone software tool, adding an optional hardware control panel lets you work faster than ever before, while also dramatically expanding your creative options. Developed in collaboration with the leading post-production facilities around the world, DaVinci Resolve control panels give colorists the tactile control they need to create realistic images that make us believe in what we see on television and the silver screen.

Control Panels Workflow

DaVinci Resolve 15 control panels, sold separately, are designed to give you fluid, hands-on control over multiple parameters at the same time, so you can work faster and be more creative. The hardware controls are placed logically near your natural hand positions and are made out of the highest quality materials. They feature smooth, high resolution weighted trackballs for making precise adjustments. All knobs, dials, and buttons have been custom-designed to feature the perfect amount of resistance, so you can accurately fine-tune any parameter. Best of all, the hardware panels allow you to adjust multiple settings, such as lift, gamma, and gain, all at the same time, giving you a level of creative control that goes far beyond what's possible with a mouse.

3 Panels for 3 Different Workflows

With three optional panels to choose from, it's easy to find one that fits perfectly on your job. The large DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panel is ideal for dedicated color correction suites and grading theaters where professional colorists work all day. The DaVinci Resolve Mini Panel is perfect when you need to switch between color and editing work, or for freelance artists that need a feature-rich portable panel they can move between jobs. The DaVinci Resolve Micro Panel is small but professional. It fits next to a keyboard for simultaneous editing and color grading, and is great for use with a laptop for on-location grading. All 3 panels have controls in similar positions, so it's even easy to move between systems running different panels.

Primary Correction Controls

To take your color grading to the next creative level, the optional DaVinci Resolve Mini and Micro panels include 12 dedicated primary color correction control knobs. These are designed to make it easy for you to stylize the look of your images and generate precise "film looks." All knobs can be pressed to instantly reset the control. That's perfect for when you are trying a new style but get a bit lost. Simply press the knobs to reset.

Tangent Element Panels Kit

Ditch the keyboard and mouse when editing or doing advanced color correction with the Tangent Devices Element Panels Kit. This bundle includes the Tk Panel with three trackerballs - ideal for three-way color correction - the Mf Panel with an additional trackerball plus 21 tactile response buttons - ideal for secondaries work - the Kb Panel with 12 user-assignable knobs, and the Bt Panel with 14 additional tactile response buttons.

A magnetic mechanism allows all four panels to be combined seamlessly into a single, contiguous control surface.
